3. A. Deporting undocumented aliens could separate families whose children were born in America AND B. The logistics of tracking and deporting all undocumented aliens in America would require enormous resources.

The correct answer is B) Emma Lazarus poem “The New Colossus”.

Emma Lazarus poem “The New Colossus” is the best evidence in support of the view that the United States is a nation of immigrants.

The poem “The New Colossus” was written by the American writer Emma Lazarus in 1883. She wrote the poem to be included as a pedestal for the statue of Liberty in New York. In an excerpt of the poem, it can be read: “Mother of Exiles, from her beacon-hand, glows world-wide welcome, her mild-eyes command”. That is why it became a symbol of welcoming immigrants. The poem made the statue of Liberty a welcome figure when immigrants crossed Ellis Island. The poem also has been quoted by President John F. Kennedy and President Barak Obama.
